Remember that you can conduct experiments, and should test all improvements, in either the general Template sandbox or your user space before changing anything here. |
Usage
- You should not put quotation marks around the quote. This template acts as a pull quote to separate it from the text instead.
- {{Quotation|quoted material|Author|Title|Publication}}
quoted material– Author, Title, Publication
- {{Quotation|quoted material|Author||skip italics to use '' '' for italics}}
quoted material– Author, skip italics to use '' '' for italics
- {{Quotation|quoted material|Author|Title|}}
quoted material– Author, Title
- {{Quotation|quoted material}}
quoted material
The equal sign (=)
If any of the parameters include an equal sign, this will make the template not recognize the parameter properly. To fix this the parameter needs to be prefixed with "1=", "2=", etc., depending on which parameter this applies to.
